Chapter 20 - Mysterious Secret (1/2)
When Chris woke up the next day, he first reread the mysterious book that he found.
'It doesn't make sense. A foreign lady holding hope? What kind of foreign lady holds hope?' Chris thought. After eating breakfast with the girls, the three of them went to Transfiguration class.
”Today we'll continue to review the spell we learned yesterday,” Professor McGonagall said.
...
The hour passed by quickly with Chris practicing the spell and occasionally helping out other students who were struggling. Right before class ended, Professor McGonagall went to where Chris, Hermione, and Kristine were.
”I would like to talk to you three after class ends. I'll write a note to your next teacher so do not worry about that,” Professor McGonagall said to them and walked away.
”Is this about yesterday?” Hermione asked. ”Didn't I already get in trouble for that?”
”You think she's going to revoke the points she awarded us and take away more points from Hermione?” Kristine asked.
”I don't know,” Chris said completely clueless as the book didn't have anything like this. ”Well whatever it is, we have no choice, but to take whatever she hands out,”
When class was over, the three nervously went to Professor McGonagall.
”Professor is there anything you need from us?” Hermione asked with a frightened tone.
”Now no need to be so nervous Miss Granger. I have already taken off points from you yesterday and said everything I needed to say,” Professor McGonagall said with a smile. ”However, before talking about this matter, I would like to ask you three to sign this parchment. If this cannot be done, then leave the classroom,”
She then proceeded to give them a parchment.
'The students signing this parchment will not tell any of contents said regardless of agreement or disagreement. If the student breaks this rule, they will give the Professors legal rights to modify the memory of the contents said,'
The three looked at each other seriously.
”If this is what is needed to be signed, then this must be serious. Let's sign it. It's only a confidentiality paper,” Kristine said.
”But hypothetically, what if we're tortured. Let's say someone used the Cruciatus Curse on us?” Chris asked.
”We will have measures against that,” Professor McGonagall said. ”However, before I continue please sign this parchment,”
The three signed the parchment and Professor McGonagall smiled.
